Use ShortPoint Branding Tool Color Palate to apply, test and reuse your company branding and colors

Step 1: Activate ShortPoint Branding Feature

In the root site of your site collection, navigate to Site Settings - ShortPoint Dashboard - Site Customization - Customize my site

This will activate ShortPoint Branding Feature.

Step 2: Navigate to Color Palette Settings

Navigate to: General Settings - Color Palette

Your SharePoint site default color palate will open, and you can edit and preview all values.

The color values are automatically populated from the site color palate

Step 3: Apply your colors

Start with Primary Color. This should be the most important color and will be used more than any other color on all pages. The primary color is the default color for many ShortPoints like for example Tiles ShortPoint.

After you add your Primary color, add the rest of the colors. You can reuse these colors in all ShortPoint branding features and also in ShortPoint Page builder.

You can paste hex value of your colors:

Designer Tip: Do not have a color palette? At least you should know your company main color. After that, you can use free online tools to generate a color palette based on the primary color. We like this one: Coolors.co

Step 4: Publish

Once you are done, hit the publish button.

You can reuse all of these colors while using ShortPoint Inserter (page builder)

Advanced Tip: Subsite with different branding settings

You can set brand colors at the root site of your site collection. All sites and subsites will use the same settings as their parent site. You can break this relation for the particular subsite.
